[dancer-users] OPTIONS route "Your browser sent a request which this web server could not grok."

Thanks for the swift response.

Wonder why they don't allow that.  Simply (quickly hacking) the HTTP::Server::Simple code to add |OPTIONS to the regex deciding if the request would be accepted fixed the problem.
Can I override the default web server used by Dancer in development (i.e. to a subclass of it)?  It's a bit annoying that the default web server for Dancer doesn't support one of its route types!
